“I hunt with everything: rifle, shotgun, pistol — and yes, a bow as well. Getting into bowhunting was a way for me to expand my season and increase my opportunities. I won’t have much time to hunt this season – that’s my only regret in accepting this nomination – but in any other year, I’m out there as often as the various seasons and my other commitments will allow. Not just deer, either, but also waterfowl, upland birds and small game. That’s the Wisconsin tradition.” Paul Ryan as reported in the below link.

Republicans have always overestimated the strength of the hunter vote which represents 5% of the population.
